SUMMARY:Scholars in Session: Advice Columns and the American Press with Ayelet Brinn\, UofM Frankel Fellow
DESCRIPTION:At the turn of the twentieth century\, American Yiddish advice columns were\nmore than entertainment—they became vital guides that helped new immigrants\nnavigate personal struggles\, American politics\, and Jewish communal life while\nforging deep\, trust-based relationships between newspapers and readers. \nBrinn delves into how these columns transformed the Yiddish press into a\ncentral institution of immigrant acclimation\, extending their influence beyond\nthe page and into readers’ everyday lives. \n\nSAJE programming is endowed by a generous gift from Cis Maisel and supported\nby Carol & Ronald P. Fogel\, Sheri & David Jaffa\, and Elaine & Michael Serling\nthrough The J’s Pillar of Light Program. SAJE inspires meaningful connections\nand important conversations. This program is proudly supported by the Jean &\nSamuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/13987
